If you’ve seen the Coen Brother’s masterful adaptation of TRUE GRIT, then… oh of course you have. I don’t need to sell Hailee Steinfeld to you, she’s already a household name. The wonderful actress may have been on the DL since her Oscar Nominated role as Mattie Ross but that all changes this year. There are 9 feature credits on her IMDB covering this year and the next for Hailee and rounding up 2013 is ENDER’S GAME, where she plays Petra Arkanian.
It was a joy to chat with Hailee about ENDER’S GAME. Our conversation ranged from literary wizards like Orson Scott Card, William Shakespeare and Charles Portis to superman like Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones. Speaking of… Which of the latter three would you crown king of the “Gruff thespian”? Having worked with all of them, Hailee had an answer.
